Shanks: The Redhead
Red-Haired Shanks is one of the Four Emperors who rule the New World. He's not just a fearsome pirate, he's a living legend! Former companion of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger himself, he's feared by the World Government. But what makes Shanks an iconic character in One Piece is his special bond with Monkey D. Luffy .
We all remember that epic moment when Shanks saved Luffy's life by sacrificing his arm against the terrifying sea monster Lord of the Coasts . A heroic act that deeply marked the young pirate and pushed him to pursue his dream of becoming the Pirate King . It was Shanks who gave him his precious straw hat , which became the iconic emblem of Luffy's crew .
Although his Devil Fruit remains a mystery, Shanks has mastered all three forms of Haki to a stratospheric level. His Haki of Kings is so powerful that he was able to stop the Marineford War with a single glance. His exploits in combat are legendary, such as when he faced Emperor Kaido in a titanic battle.
Shanks is said to be related to the Figarland family of the Celestial Dragons, which would partly explain his colossal strength. His crew, composed of elite pirates like Ben Beckman and Lucky Roux, is considered one of the most powerful in the world. With a bounty exceeding 4 billion berries , Shanks is definitely a living legend whose destiny will once again cross that of Luffy.
Benn Beckman: Shanks' right-hand man
As the vice-captain of the Roux crew, Beckman is renowned as the most powerful pirate in the East Blue . Calm and intelligent, he is an outstanding fighter who does not hesitate to draw his rifle to defeat his enemies. During the Battle of Marineford, he displayed impressive composure when threatening Admiral Kizaru .
Shanks' true ally since the beginning, his strength and loyalty to him are such that even the entire Navy fears him. Beckman is an outstanding strategist who analyzes situations to perfection.
His bounty must be over a billion berries, reflecting his absolutely monstrous strength . He is one of the most powerful and respected members of the Roux crew. His presence alongside Shanks considerably reinforces the threat posed by this elite pirate crew.
Lucky Roux: The imposing commander
Lucky Roux is one of the three commanders of the crew with Yasopp. With his imposing build and red hair , he is feared throughout the world. Although his exact abilities remain a mystery, one thing is certain, Roux is an extraordinary fighter. During the Marineford arc, he showed his phenomenal power.
His fighting style is a reflection of his build: brutal and devastating . Lucky does not hesitate to use brute force to crush his opponents. With a bounty surely above 500 million berries, he is part of the absolute elite of the New World. His loyalty to Shanks is unquestionable, and he will follow his captain to the end. Alongside monsters like Beckman and Yasopp , they form a shock trio that makes the seas tremble.
Yasopp: The Legendary Sniper
Yasopp is one of the three most powerful commanders of Shanks' crew. This seasoned pirate is best known for being the father of Usopp , the Straw Hat Pirates' sniper. But despite this family connection, Yasopp chose to stay with Shanks to continue his adventures.
His specialty is long-range shooting. He is considered the best sniper in the world , capable of shooting down a seagull in mid-flight from miles away! During the Summit War , Yasopp played a key role in helping to stop the fighting thanks to his fearsome accuracy.
Yasopp is a feared and respected pirate, whose loyalty to Shanks is unquestioned. With his extreme sniper skills, he is a real threat to the crew's enemies.
Rockstar: The Rookie
Rockstar is one of the new members to join the Redhead crew before the two-year timeskip. Although new, this pirate already had quite the reputation with 94 million berries on his head!
A former renowned wrestler on the island of Dressrosa, his ultra-brutal and merciless fighting style fits the crew's philosophy perfectly. During the Colosseum Tournament , he attempted to steal the Mera Mera no Mi devil fruit but was defeated by Sabo .
Despite this defeat, Shanks saw Rockstar's enormous potential and recruited him into his crew. The young pirate now harbors a great grudge against Luffy's adopted brother. With his colossal strength and fighting temperament, Rockstar is a strong asset to face the Redhead crew's most formidable enemies.
Other crew members
Even though they only made a brief appearance in the One Piece Red movie, we should soon see the other members of Shanks' crew in the anime . Which has sparked a lot of speculation from fans. Here's what we think at Cartoon Toi :
- Limejuice , with his yellow hair and glasses, really does have an intriguing appearance! He was seen holding an axe when he was younger, which suggests that he could be a formidable fighter. But his look also gives the impression that he may be a master of illusion techniques!
- Bonk Punch forms a shock team with his companion, the monkey Monster . Just imagining a pirate fighting alongside a primate is awesome! In his early days, he used flintlock pistols, a vintage weapon that gives him a retro style. We can't wait to see their combos!
- Building Snake , this colossus built like Franky with his snake tattoo, really makes us think of a cyborg. Such a character in Shanks' crew, it promises clashes of unheard-of violence!
- Hongo , as a swordsman, may be a disciple of the Rokushiki like the CP9 agents. In any case, we are sure that he will give us absolutely crazy sword fights!
- Howling Gab has a beastly look that reminds one of Blanka from Street Fighter. If he has electric powers and the ability to curl up into a ball to charge, his techniques must be completely insane! An opponent with a terrifying but stylish look at the same time.
Red Force: The Crew's Ship
The Red Force is the flagship of the Redhead crew. It is a massive four-masted ship , slightly larger than a Navy warship. It is adorned with an imposing golden figurehead representing a menacing Viking , who seems to want to rip your guts out with just his gaze.
It reminds us of the longships of the Nordic warriors. With its palm trees and parasol, the Red Force exudes an atmosphere that is both festive and fearsome , just like its crew of extraordinary pirates.
